Newer Task Force Facilitators, checking on orientation
<brentb> Judy: Across the WAI groups, we have several new task force facilitators. Are they receiving the orientation needed?

<brentb> Judy: Jeanne, you mentioned that you thought you were not receiving system notices. Is that still the case?
<ChrisLoiselle> I don't think I'm on the chairs list as well. At least I don't believe I am. Is there a particular alias I should be looking for?
<brentb> Jeanne: Hard to say. I receive some notices, wouldn't know what I am missing.
<brentb> Jeanne: Sometimes I don't know if notices are going to facilitators or to chairs.
<brentb> Judy: Filed bug on improving system notices. [They] are working on some of this. I will add it back to action list to follow-up on.
Brief update on arranging training on deaf culture, colleagues, interpreters, etc https://dspa.org/workshops-classes/
<brentb> Judy: Previously, there has been interest in this group around workshops / training around deaf culture, colleagues, interpreters, etc. Looking at when to schedule some of these workshops.
Continuing discussion on diversity within WAI: intersecting needs with older users
<brentb> ... Most of the DSPA workshops are U.S. centric and W3C is not. Asking them to internationalize them.
<brentb> Tzviya: This is one way I get people to care about accessibility.
<brentb> ... All features are usually useful to all people. Even though it helps the aging population, it will support all users.
<brentb> Jeanne: The groups working on cognitive related guidelines work on addressing this. Things like consistant navigation, captchas, etc. It is important and hope it will continue to be a big part of WCAG 3
<brentb> ... Not specifically addressing the elderly, it is more woven in. Not aware of any age related guidelines, but can address if it comes up.
<Judy> [INPUT TO WAI EXT MTG -- age-related aspects of WAI guidelines]
Brent: In all of our resources, we try to weave this in. We have personas. The WCAG Videos project, some of the people will be people with age-related issues.
Judy: Are we apprroaching things in the same way, or are there other things we should coordinate?
… Andrew Arch had done specific work in the past.
<ChrisLoiselle> FYI I see https://
<Judy> jb: what about accessibility for kids -- early stages of trying to coordinate?
<brentb> Jeanne: Someone active in the Silver TF was interested in digging into this, looking for more people who were interested.
<brentb> ... Asked her to look for user needs around this.
AOB?
<brentb> Tzviya: Curious about where this [kids with disabilities] is coming from, and why different than other people with disabilities.
Judy: Assessment industry.
Judy: Chris, anything age related when it comes to low vision?
Chris: Yes working on adding in context.
Judy: Kim, Aged specific issues come up in mobile? Anything mapped directly to age specific content.
Kim: No, but noted.
Judy: Is there more specific messaging that should be added to WAI materials on this? If so bring it to my attention.
